siggy.9521 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 If we could set a player to follow instead of a WVW guild would solve my problems. Then all those tiny guilds that don't care for them fat guilds could follow a friend. I can totally imagine the issues with this (disingenuous players) but those issues probably already exist in the current system. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening for following someone who might not want you to follow them in WvW is not a good solution for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend will follow another guild around and end up on a different server. There could be a way to accept the follow request fix that problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ways that could be abused to circumvent cap on guilds/alliance guilds or following the most popular commanders around are too many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys will just join said guild or alliance of your popular commander thats already happening and working as intended. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawdler.8521 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Isn’t deciding to follow someone into battle that you don’t normally follow the literal definition of an alliance? But also the idea for OP would be an algorithm nightmare to let loose, completely broken. Everyone could just set themselves to follow teapot, ezpz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIceman.1039 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 It's not a bad idea at all. Of course, there would be a danger if everyone started aligning themselves according to certain commanders. But if you limit it numerically, for example, a maximum of 20 individuals can follow one person. The most uncomfortable in the current Wvw are solo gamers who have not wanted to join any Guild but at the same time want to belong somewhere. Having been a solo gamer myself for years in another game, I know the feeling. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have already done the same. Not sure I see the difference here outside of ensuring shared leadership in the guild management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the problem is when one friend follows a guild, other friend follows another guild, now group is spread across multiple servers. I have 3 accounts all wvw ready. I'm not some try hard server spy. I'm literally sitting next to wife on other PC cannot join her on any account. I've been here since 2012 and suffered through the terrible decisions e.g. all maps desert and having crafting stations at spawn. I beg a change here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a number of Alliances that are made up of a few tiny guilds that want to stay sorted together. Why are you and your wife not in the same guild together? I get having friends in different guilds. I likewise get friends of friends aren't always friends. But that is the point in finding a no drama community guild used for just sorting and then players can rep what they want and still stay connected.

Yeah well, I dont think this is an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was just an example I also have such guild membership just for alliance purpose, but then there are friends who follow other friends it gets convoluted pretty quickly. Eventually a few guys are stuck out on their own. At least in the previous system if I wanted to join a bandwagon server I had a choice and throw an alt into there.

This kind of what I was getting at with my hotjoin topic that got confused bombed. It would be nice to be able to join friends and whatnot no matter where they are, should not have to sign up to large community guild to facilitate that. And no, smaller guilds do not always work, as in my guild we have many members across different teams right now because not all of them want to set our guild to the WvW one and there was never a consensus to all join one battle guild.

So is this an alt issue where you want to make sure you have options? I hope you know that using bandwagon server you aren't helping your case but hurting it. Bandwagon was a factor leading into this issue that players were warned about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why large? Its more, pick a side. Players not picking a side was what lead to this mess. Now where some of us were happy with our pubs, we are forced to resort. So no, form a comm guild or face the whirlwind that was created by players creating issues in balance that lead to the WR. Be active, or float. So group up and you won't have an issue. But no to tools that could be used to further impact sorts and more stacking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
